Nich,

I am looking for offers over £5k

Mike

Looks like a very nice clean car don't think you'll have much trouble getting offers over £5k- sounds very good value.

[Mike Gray]

Nich,

That is very kind of you.Thank you.

Mike

Nich,

It is a lot of car but I have decided it has to go and hopefully it will have some interest...if it doesn't I guess the market decides on what a fair value is.

This is my old car which I have been following with interest, I sold it a couple of months ago and has been advertised quite regularly, at reducing price points since. Reduced from a £9k asking price to under £7k, I sold it for £5.5k.

It raises a few questions on a trade versus private sale I think, I am all for both types of sale but it does make you wonder in this example of what you would be getting for your money. I say this because I sold the car privately and advertised that the car was low on the rear tyres and the handbrake was weak, both of which I mentioned as they should be factored into the price a potential buyer would be billing to bid.

We now have a dealer advertisement that doesn't represent these points at all, so presumably they are now resolved, or perhaps they are price negotiation points...I factored these in my own mind at £500 of value that would need to be discounted on the car from the best price I would be able to achieve.

If this were to be the case you now have a £1k difference between what I sold for and what the dealer would make, assumimg the weak points are addressed. Given the costs of advertisements, lack of cash flow, costs of picking the car up etc you wonder if you did need any after care service whether there is sufficent margin to provide it.

I feel this says a good private seller is a sensible purchase, a good dealer with a reputation is a sensible too, but a trader who is doesnt know the market and is just looking for a fast buck is perhaps to be avoided...just food for thought!

Good find, Mike. I'm watching this with a view to purchase. I'd be loathe to fork out the asking price though if the 2 points you raised previously aren't rectified.

Hi all

Would like to say hello to everyone, went out on Friday with a BMW 330i, and returned home grinning with number 469 .

Loved every mile driving back and that v8 sound track is amazing especially with the zero exhausts, always wanted a v8 and when i found out about the ZT 260 several years ago have been wanting one ever since. I'm only 23 so i did have to wait a while to be able to get one, but very happy now that i have.

Chris.
